NLC India Limited (NLCIL) is a major Indian public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Coal, involved in lignite mining and power generation. It operates lignite mines and thermal power stations, primarily in Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan, and is also expanding into renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
State-owned NLC India is in talks with a Russian-backed entity to secure lithium supplies from its mine in Africa, a key step in securing critical minerals for India’s energy transition.
